Hazardous Materials

Hazardous materials are substances which can endanger or damage in certain concentrations (amounts) people, animals, environment and real values.
These materials can be existent firmly, liquidly, gaseous or also in the form of radiation.
  • Appearance of hazardous materials
  • Different transport ways (streets, rails, water, air)
  • Storage, manufacturing, processing in buildings and mills
  • During fires as a result of the combustion (pyrolyse products)
  • Hospitals, indoor swimming pools, collecting points of problematic goods
  • Agriculture
Chemical materials
Caustic materials
Develop a direct irritation and caustic impact on eyes, skin and tissues of humans and animals.

Acids and bases (heavy caustic materials)
Cause corrosions of the eyes, the skin and the respiratory system as well as destroy clothes and equipment.

Materials which are harmful to the environment
Damage depending on their character and effect plants, soil, ground water and bodies of water.

Poisonous materials
Provoke the damage of blood, nerves or cells of humans and animals.

Nitrogen fertilizer
Decompose at temperatures > 130°C. In this process are generated nitrous gases and ammoniac gas.

Mineral oil products
Are harmful to the base water and can cause danger of fire and explosion depending on their character.

First aid at corrosions and toxication

Corrosion can caused by
  • Acids (e.g. sulphuric or hydrochloric acid)
  • Bases (e.g. sodium hydroxide, caustic portash) causes injuries on skin and mucous membranes, redness, blistering and sloughing.
Measures:
  • Flush injured body parts with a lot of water,
  • Flush eye injuries with running water.
Toxication
Measures:
  • Measures are limited to the survey of the vital functions,
  • Give the rest of the toxin, packaging or other indications on the kind of toxin to the emergency rescue service.
Hazadouse need chemical hazard symbol on their storage, in hazadous chemical storage.

Basic Chemistry

Chemistry is the physical science that deals with composition, structure and properties of substance and also the transformation that these substance that undergoes. Because the study of chemistry encompasses the entire material universe, it is central to the understanding of other science. Basic chemistry involve in all aspect on live, the incident in around you actually is the basic chemistry process such as the changes of compost from fresh there is any chemical reaction involved there even the process itself is help by microorganism. A basic chemistry theory has been formulated as the result of centuries of observation and measurement of the various elements and compounds. According to this theory, matter is composed of minute particles called atoms. The more than 100 different kinds of atoms that are known are called chemical elements. Atoms of the same elements or of different elements can combine together to form molecules and compounds. The atom are held together by forces,...

Gas Reaction and Solid Reaction

Gas Liquid Reactions When gaseous reactants are absorbed by a liquid, and a chemical reaction takes place , both chemical reaction and mass transfer may control the overall reaction rate. For analysis of this type of system should be consulted. Books by Astarita, Danckwerts, and Sherwood, Pigford, and Wilke should also be helpful. Treatments similar to these references are likewise applicable to the liquid liquid system if chemical reaction is involved in only one of two partially miscible phases and the overall rate is governed by both mass transfer and chemical reaction. Solid State Reactions The solid state reactions refer to decomposition and interaction of solids, and are generally more complex than those of other systems discussed preciously. There have been few systematic analyses of chemical reactions in the solid state. Fairly comprehensive treatments of such reactions are presented in two recent publications by Bamford and Tipper and Schmalzried respectively. Genera...

Viscose Fiber Production Process

Viscose fiber is a base material for textile industry. The first production of this kind product is in Indian than spread over the Europe and United States also in South Asia Country like in Indonesia. Viscose fiber is produced to anticipate the shortage of natural yarn for raw material to produce yarn in textile industries, beside synthetic yarn as replace natural cotton to produce fabric. This one is a simple drawing of viscose fiber production process . Viscose fiber is used to substitute the using of cotton as raw material for textile industry. Beside of cotton availability will not enough to supply market demand in the future, also cotton just available on harvesting season. If people just depend on cotton to produce textile then people will shortage of raw material to produce textile. Using viscose fiber to fulfill of textile industry will not any shortage raw material, beside the price is lower than cotton, viscose fiber also have better quality compare with synthetic fiber fo...
